Paris - Sketches

Those street people who make pencil/charcoal drawings of your faces in Paris are pretty good. For about 40 euro a piece, you get this realistic, hand drawn + romanticized image of yourself.


The artist usually start drawing by outlining the approximate location of the face, and then start by drawing their eyes.



In the beginning of the sketch, the facial features are pretty generic. You can kinda tell from their finished sketches that they have some preset facial character and shapes that they are used to drawing, which they modify as they go along to suit a particular person.



That half an hour might be too long for some.
